Not exact matches

The Cuomo administration estimates the Clean Energy Standard, chiefly its nuclear subsidies, will add an average of $ 2 to residential electric bills, although the Empire Center calculated the standard would hike the average residential bill by more than $ 2.09 in 2018 and by $ 3.40 in 2021 from added supply costs alone; compliance with the standard will necessitate major changes to the electrical grid, which will separately drive up customer delivery charges as utilities are forced to accommodate intermittent generation from solar panels and wind turbines.

The potential of wind and solar energy is almost limitless, because solar alone can provide 100 folds energy requirement of the US, and wind can supply 40 x the energy required with a turbine on every farm.

But meeting the world's total energy demands in 2030 with renewable energy alone would take an estimated 3.8 million wind turbines (each with twice the capacity of today's largest machines), 720,000 wave devices, 5,350 geothermal plants, 900 hydroelectric plants, 490,000 tidal turbines, 1.7 billion rooftop photovoltaic systems, 40,000 solar photovoltaic plants, and 49,000 concentrated solar power systems.

With the weather conditions at sea, where strong winds constantly blow on the water's surface on most of the days of the year, and the technology rapidly becoming cheaper, hopes are springing that offshore wind turbines alone could cover well over 12 percent of the power consumption of the world's fourth largest economy by 2030 — meaning that the number of turbines would have to rise considerably from the roughly 1,200 in operation at the end of 2017.
